Y PUMP-cartolina Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 9, 1909.

Application led February 5, 1909. Serial No. 476,323.

To all whom it may concern.'

Beit known that I, LOUIS A. WASHBURNE, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Johns, in the county of Clinton and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pump-Brackets, `of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings. .J

My invention relates to improvements in, pump brackets; and an object of my invention is to provide a pump bracket which will be particularly well adapted for attachment to a sink and which will be simple in construction, comparatively cheap in manufacture and efficient and durable in use. f

Anotheriobject of my invention is to provide a pump bracket, the shelf of which may be reversed.

In the drawings illustrating the principle of my invention and the best mode now known to me of applying that principle,

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my new pump bracket; Fig. 2 is a view looking in the diA rection of the arrow X in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is an elevation partly in section and showing the pump removed; Fig. 4L is a plan of the shelf; Fig. f5 is a bottom view of the shelf; Fig. 6 is a view of the shelf looking in the direction of the arrow Y in Fig. 4; Fig. 7 is a detail showing the L-shaped standard partlyin section; and Fig. 8 is a detail of the brace-rod.

The standard of the bracket is L-shaped and consists of the vertical leg a and the horizontal arm Z). The latter is formed with the lower face of the shelf g and the lowerV leg of each of which is formed with a lateral extension or ear m perforated at a for the passage of the bolts e by which the shelf g is fastened to the horizontal arm b of the bracket standard. The ange o of the sink is adapted to rest upon the horizontal arm b of thebracket'standard and 'lies within the grooves of the U-shaped clips c between the upper and lower legs thereof (Figs. 2 and 3). The bolt f securely fastens the flange o of the sink, the shelf g' and the horizontal arm b together. The shelf g is formed with a pair of holes p, Q and its lower face is provided with a pair of inclined Vblocks p, g through which the holes p and "The upper end of the brace-rod t bears against one of the inclined blocks p', g and is fastened thereto, whereby the outer portion of the shelf g is supported.

The shelf g may be reversed, in which case the upper end of the brace-rod t will bear against the other inclined block and will be fastened to the shelf g at that point. This makes the shelf reversible and adapts the pump bracket to be mounted at either end of the sink.

The upper portion of the leg a is fastened to the supporting strip u by the screws o.

I claim:

l. ,A pump-bracket consisting of a standard one part of which forms a leg and the other part of which forms an arm eXtending therefrom, said arm being formed with a depression; a slotted shelf formed at one side with connecting devices fastened in said depression; and a brace which connects the free end of said leg with the side of the shelf opposite said connecting devices. 2. A pump-bracket consisting' of a standard; a slotted shelf formed at one side with grooved connecting devices; and a brace connecting said standard with the side of the shelf opposite from said grooved connecting devices.

3. A pump-bracket consisting of a standard; a reversible shelf fastened at one side to said standard detachably and formed at .its opposite side with means for the attachment of one end of a brace-rod in both the normal and reversed positions of said shelf; and a brace-rod one end of which is fastened to the side of said shelf oppositerom said standard and the other end of which is fas- 5 tended to the latter. l y

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand at said St. Johns, Michigan, this 30th day of January, A. D., 1909, in the presence of the two undersigned Witnesses.

LOUIS A. VVASHBURNE.
